Abstract
As an important resource insect, the Cryptotympana atrata is widely distributed in the eastern and central parts of China. The cicada slough is one of the traditional crude drugs in East Asia, and the main component is polysaccharide, which has the functions of anti-convulsion, relieving asthma and improving lipid metabolism. The parasitoid fungus Cordyceps cicadae, which grows inside the cicada nymphs and forms the fruiting bodies on the surface of the host’s carcass, is also known as the “cicada flower” in China. The Cordyceps cicadae is another old, traditional Chinese medicine, which has been used as a tonic and medicine to nourish and regulate human immunity for centuries. For the further development and utilization of the golden cicada, this paper summarized the C. atrata from the aspects of their biological characteristics, distribution area, life cycle, history of edible and medicinal use, edible methods and nutritional compositions; emphatically introduced the edible and potential medicinal value of the C. atrata; and specifically expounded the research progress of its application. As one popular insect food, the prospects for the development of C. atrata have also been put forward, especially in artificial breeding technology, food safety risk assessment and medicinal value utilization.
